Good option if you want to stay in Maun; lodge is in a private game reserve, 30min from center, at the Thamalakane river. Every tent is very spacious, with luxurious interior, and privacy. Huge beds, outside shower, etc. Main building has shady terrace and pool (water was good, but ground would need some cleaning). You can walk on several trails... More

We stayed here for three nights as part of a three week trip to Southern Africa. Whilst the lodge isn't a private game lodge in the Delta - it is very private and the tents/chalets are a luxury. The staff were really attentive from booking to departure. They organised trips for us and were always friendly whilst we were there.... More

There is a big main building with community table and then a couple of bungalows with tent walls. They consist of one big room with a private bathroom and a bathtub, the... More

What a delightful lodge in Maun! Royal Tree Lodge has a beautiful setting amongst huge trees in a forest area adjoining the Tamalakane River. The luxury en-suite tents are superb - probably some of the best appointed and most thoughtful layouts in Botswana (and that includes the Okavango Delta). This lodge is by far the best option in Maun. More

We had booked Motsentsela for the last night of our tour in Botswana and were very happy with out choice. The Lodge is located at a private nature reserve some 20 minutes drive from the airport. The manager of the lodge is very welcoming, so the atmosphere is very nice. The tents are of high quality, more like chalets than... More
